Twilight Romeo & Juliet: Jacob Black, seriously?
Chapter One: Arrival
Sitting in the car was the worst. My cheerful mother, Meredith, was happily chattering away on her cell phone. I tried to tune out her conversation, so I started to listen to my iPod. "Fer Sure" by Medic Droid was playing loudly.
I quietly mouthed the lyrics to the song. I really want to go to sleep right about now.
"I can't wait, Ami would really appreciate that. Thanks, Diane, see you later. Bye." Meredith clicked the End button and put down her cell phone.
Oh yeah, my name is Ami Forbes. I am fourteen years old, and I used to live in Chicago. We are moving to Forks, Washington, that rainiest town in the continental U.S. Oh, joy.
My mother suddenly turned around to face me, still keeping her hand on the wheel and her eyes on the road.
"Ami, take out your headphones", Meredith said sternly.
"Sure, Mom", and of course, I took out my ear buds.
"Hey, um, do you remember Diane? Well, her daughter Megan, is completely elated to meet you. Try to be happy, or at least keep a smile on your face", my mom suddenly smiled at me, showing her brilliant, too-white teeth.
My mom knew me all too well. Goody.
"Oh-Kay then. It'll be nice to know somebody before I go to school. Will she be going to my new school?", I really emphasized on the word my. As I said this, I put my ear buds back into my ears.
"Wait. How long until we get to Forks?"
"Uh, about fifteen more minutes, sweetie. Are you excited?", she answered.
"Yeah."

Fifteen minutes later, we pulled into our new driveway. The house was two storey's high, and made of brick and a coral-coloured cement mixture concoction to top it off. It looked … welcoming. It was those kind of houses that they built on Extreme Home Makeover.
The moving trucks were already here. The two male workers were attempting to move our leather loveseat and longer couch into the house. They were just about to the door.
As me and Meredith were getting out of our own care, Meredith asked me, "Go open the door for them."
And, of course, I obeyed her. I quickly threw myself out of the car, and sprinted to the door. I held it open for the two workers.
"I got it guys", I tried to smile at them, and they just looked awkwardly at me.
So much for a thanks, the losers.
I followed them into the house, and I decided to take a tour.
I was on the first floor, in the mud room, and then downstairs there was the basement. It looked kind of creepy, so I didn't even bother going down there. I then walked into the kitchen.
The kitchen was a light brown color. It immediately made me think of California, or somewhere hot. Basically, any place that was warm really.
Next, I walked into the living room. It was quite large, and roomy. It was the same shade as the kitchen. The thread carpet looked quite new. Maybe they changed it before we moved in?
There was two bedrooms. One for me and one for my Mom. My bedroom was painted a light baby-pink, and Meredith's was baby-blue. Pastel shades, maybe a request from Meredith. My room had a window seat, woo-hoo. At least I could have somewhere to relax.
I was resting on my window-seat, getting a view of the area, when Meredith hollered, "Ami, how do you like the house? Oh, and we are going to meet Diane and her daughter now!"
Yippee.
